Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.

It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans - except Katniss.

The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. she must become the rebels' Mockingjay - no matter what the personal cost.

Akhirnya saya bisa tamat baca ini. No more Hunger Games, tapi para rebels yang berusaha menghancurkan dominasi Kapitol. Agak kecewa sih, soalnya tanpa Hunger Games, alurnya jadi agak mbosenin. District 13 ternyata benar-benar ada. Dan Peeta berhasil diselamatkan dari sekapan Kapitol. Tapi dia berubah, setelah disiksa bersama para Viktor lainnya. Racun tracker jacker membuatnya seperti setengah berhalusinasi. Semacam dicuci otak gitu.

Usaha para rebels untuk menghancurkan Kapitol ternyata harus dibayar mahal, terutama kematian orang-orang yang berusaha melindungi Katniss. Termasuk Finnick. Sejak Catching Fire, saya udah suka sama Finnick. Dan Prim. Kenapa harus Prim? :’(

Kematian Prim membawa dampak yang begitu besar pada keluarga Katniss. Ibunya lebih memilih menenggelamkan diri pada pekerjaannya sebagai medis di distrik 4, enggan kembali ke distrik 12. Gale juga lebih memilih bekerja di distrik 2.

Dan Katniss kembali ke Victor Village di distrik 12. Bersama Haymitch dan Peeta. Saya nggak tau gimana rasanya ya. Menang, tapi kehilangan terlalu banyak.

Dan endingnya……

Nggak tau ini happy ending apa sad ending. Cuma ya saya mbrebes mili pas baca ini:

That what I need to survive is not Gale’s fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that.

So after, when he whispers, “You love me. Real or not real?”

I tell him, “Real.”
